Why Digital Accessibility Becomes Mandatory in June 2025 - and How Companies Benefit
What does the BFSG require?
The BFSG requires numerous companies to design their digital services, websites, and apps to be accessible to all people - regardless of physical or cognitive limitations. The goal is to make the digital world more inclusive and to exclude no one.
Who benefits from accessibility?
The numbers speak for themselves: Around 7.9 million people with recognized disabilities live in Germany - that's 9.3% of the population. But accessibility goes far beyond that. Elderly people, people with temporary limitations (e.g., after an accident), or those with less tech-savvy also benefit from accessible digital offerings. In short: Accessibility is a win for everyone.
The advantages for companies
1. Greater reach:
Accessible digital products open up a larger target audience. Those who make their website or app accessible reach more potential customers and users.
2. Trust and image:
Companies that focus on accessibility demonstrate social responsibility. This strengthens the brand image and creates trust - both with customers and employees.
3. Legal security:
From June 2025, accessibility will be legally required in many areas. Those who act early minimize legal risks and are well-prepared.
